File Types & Locations
HP SimpleSave automatically backs up the most common file types on your
computer’s primary hard drive by default. You can use the

option to modify these settings.
Click
Search only these locations
under
Select Search Location:
to specify
specific drives or folders you want HP SimpleSave to back up. If you only wanted to
back up the “My Documents” folder, you can back up only that folder and no other.
Under
Select File Types:
, all file types to be backed up are selected. You can
deselect a file type to back up by clicking the corresponding blue box. For example,
you may want to back up all of your content except videos, in which case you would
deselect the Video Files box.
Note:
These settings will remain saved even if you unplug your HP drive.
